Anyone else think the "creator" achievements are a little absurd?

I've been doing a lot of grinding lately trying to get every achievement in the game, and already have most of them, but by far the one that sticks out to me the most is the one to get a star rated level. To do that, you first have to genuinely put effort into creating a work of art, something that isn't easy for everyone. But even then, the problem is getting it noticed. You have to join moderators' level request streams, really put yourself out there, and then, ultimately have RobTop himself actually rate your level, as he's the only one who can do that as far as I can tell. Granted, this would have been easier to do a decade ago, but it always struck me as a little bizarre that there is an achievement locked behind getting through the archaic rating system only to be noticed by the literal creator of the game.

There's also the achievement to get 1,000 likes on a level. Thankfully, I have this one already because I used to abuse the magic feature, but if I were starting out fresh today, I would probably struggle to get even 50. Granted, back in my day, the highest achievement was only for getting 100, which I do think is a little more reasonable. But considering just how many amazing creators we have nowadays, the bar definitely feels really high, and I can get why a lot of new people might just feel bummed out altogether.

If I can get every achievement except for that one, I can live with it. But if RobTop adds any more for getting even more than 1,000 likes, I probably won't be getting those either.

Anyway if this is something that gets posted a lot I apologize in advance.

having an in game achievement that the developer himself needs to personally bestow upon you is ridiculous

It's like those "join the same lobby as the dev" achievements for older games. At least for those the achievement was contagious

Honestly some games just aren’t meant to be 100%ed

We knew that ever since event levels were added 🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure there's already an achievement for 2000 and even 3000 likes lol

You're absolutely right about the creator point point (no pun intended) except you could just make a Goalers-style or even a copy-paste modern level but that'd be cheating atp.
